with editing such files is only temporary. Storage gets cheaper by the day and computers are getting more powerful all the time as well. Just a few years ago smartphones could barely handle just playing 480p video, now they can edit 1080p video, let alone play them.

Again, the perfect example of the meaningless progression of 4K video. There are fundamental limits to network bandwidth and eye sight that make 4K video meaningless.

4K video is not necessarily beneficial on a 65-inch TV. Most people cannot tell the difference between 4K and 1080P from standard viewing distances.

4K video on a phone versus 1080P video on a phone is entirely meaningless.

I was responding to someone who was talking about the limitations of technology today.

Second, they to tell me you can't see the difference between 1080P and 4K on a 6 inch screen just one inch from your eyes. That is what VR is going to be like. Albeit, probably more like two smaller screens instead of using a smartphone screen. Still, when the screens are that close, such resolutions will matter and certainly not meaningless.

I think VR is the only reasonable application for such high resolution. But perhaps there is some new display medium we haven't even considered yet.

The Nikon Z6 may not offer the incredible resolution of its sibling, the Z7, but its 24MP resolution is more than enough for most people, and the money saved can buy a lot of glass. Find out what's new and notable about the Z6 in our First Impressions Review.

Many cameras today include built-in image stabilization systems, but when it comes to video that's still no substitute for a proper camera stabilization rig. The Ronin-S aims to solve that problem for DSLR and mirrorless camera users, and we think DJI has delivered on that promise.

The SiOnyx Aurora is a compact camera designed to shoot stills and video in color under low light conditions, so we put it to the test under the northern lights and against a Nikon D5. It may not be a replacement for a DSLR, but it can complement one well for some uses.

At its core, the Scanza is an easy-to-use multi-format film scanner. It offers a quick and easy way to scan your film negatives and slides into JPEGs, but costs a lot more than similar products without a Kodak label.
